I was most taken by the idea of microagressions. These tiny put downs, many times disguised, build up inside us. When I look back in my own life, I see how so often I've also been a perpetrator of this against people in my life. In fact, it seems poking fun at someone was often a side that they were a part of my inner circle. It's funny how we save certain emotions, or certain aspects, for those closest. For myself, I think it's because they are most likely to accept even these bits I don't like.
Compassion. Always coming back to a practice of compassion.
